Hetzner object storage

Hetzner is launching a much-cheaper s3 alternative
- The price difference in storage is night and day, with Hetzner’s service less than 1⁄4 of the price of Amazon.
- It’s even more stark for transfer out. At $90/TB, Amazon basically owns your data once it’s in their data center. Hetzner’s price is 1/90th AWS’ with a 10x more generous free tier.
- No per-operation cost is huge. While reviewing my own S3 costs earlier this year, I was surprised to find that 85% of my bill was per-operation cost.
